Piers Morgan has been branded "rude" and "disrespectful" after interrupting a report on the Manchester Arena Bombing to talk about himself.

The Good Morning Britain host jumped in to talk over the top of one of his co-presenters after noticing that Shirley Ballas had posted about him on Instagram.

On the first anniversary of the tragedy that claimed 22 lives, a news report was detailing the attack at Ariana Grande's concert as the reporter said another anniversary could pass before the loved one's of those killed get the answers they deserve.

As it cut back to the studio, Charlotte Hawkins began discussing it, saying: "So that's our top..."

But she was interrupted by Piers, who talked over the top of her as he looked at his phone.

His co-host Susanna Reid rolled her eyes at the camera as he continued: "She Instagrammed, I've not seen this. 'You never know who you'll bump into at the Chelsea Flower Show, charming and dashing Piers Morgan'."

Susanna made a face as Piers sat back looking a bit smug.

Charlotte said he'd obviously "turned on the charm" when he met the Strictly Come Dancing judge.

And he joked: "Maybe back to the news, it's obviously getting to you."

Charlotte then picked up where she left off, saying: "That's our top story this morning."

Viewers were "disgusted" by his actions, and immediately took to Twitter to lash out at the host.

One said: "I cannot believe Piers Morgan This morning. The news was talking about the Manchester bombings and The minute silence today. He went straight on to talk about himself, so disrespectful"

Another wrote: "Piers Morgan bragging on his phone after a news article about Manchester one year on take a bow you absolute tool."

One viewer told him: "Piers just so annoying now use to be funny but it's not all about him! Cutting in soon as the Manchester report finished!! Rude!!!"

And another said: "Piers that was disgusting interrupting the end of the Manchester report with news of Shirley Ballas with a big grin on your face shameful !"

Others brought up what Piers said about Ariana following the attack, when he criticised her for flying home rather than visiting her injured fans in hospital.

However, he did later apologise and commend Ariana for the One Love Manchester charity concert that raised millions to help those affected.

But after today's GMB, one person tweeted: "Remembering the attrocity in Manchester a year ago. Let us also remember Piers Morgan’s callous attack on Ariana Grande in the hours afterwards, slating her for flying home for a few days to be with her loved ones."
